Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.
In this exercise, you will determine the density of four metals, similar in appearance. Mass will be determined using an Ohaus Scout® Pro electronic balance and volume will be calculated using Archimedes Principle of Displacement. The data obtained will then be compared to published density values. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups.
Kit Includes: 125g Aluminum Metal 125g Lead Metal 125g Nickel Metal 125g Zinc Metal 15 Aluminum Weighing Trays
